Is it just me? Brown sugar vs. white sugar.

I personally don't care much for sugar white or brown. I usually use black strap molasses for sweeting mt oatmeal and I don't sweeten my coffee. You can make your own brown sugar. For dark brown sugar take 1 cup of white sugar and add 2 tablespoons of molasses and mix until all the molasses is absorbed. The black strap molasses will make a dark brown sugar. It really cuts down on the cost.

I have wondered the diffrence between both sugars. Even I thought it was unprocessed formof sugar cane juice!!! Ok, so the colour and taste is due to mollasses. I normally use normal sugar, brown sugar is expensive here. I only use it for cakes and puddings.

Not a weird question at all:-) White sugar has been highly refined (processed). With brown sugar, they add molasses to it to make it more moist, flavorful, and that's where it gets it's brown color. The deeper brown sugar has even more molasses in it, and therefore a stronger taste. The nutritional difference between white sugar and the brown is just as big a difference as in taste and smell. The molasses gives it extra minerals, etc, where white sugar gives you no nutritional benefit at all and is just a sweetener. I personally use a lot more brown sugar in things than the white, just because I like the taste.

..hi.. brown sugar are said to be more beneficial than the white sugar because the white sugar was process finely that the nutrients were also removed that's why it became white.. the brown sugar has more nutrients than the white.. and it's really sweeter.. for the brown sugar in my personal experience, I just put a little in my coffee and it's already fine but for the white sugar, I have to put more for it to taste sweet in my coffee.. and with the smell, you're definitely right..

Brown sugar is healthier than white... Well so I think, I use sugar replacements so yeah... However brown sugar does indeed smell more homemade than white sugar does.

I don't have any facts to back this up with, but I feel like brown sugar is healthier AND less processed than regular cane sugar. But I honestly have no idea either way. I LOVE brown sugar!
